Chapter Summaries

Ian synchronized with his clone in the Samsara Hall, where the clone was killed after completing a weapons-data deal and was recruited by the Hall as he died. He awoke in the Samsara Hall beside three others, where Booth identified himself as the group’s mission nanny.

• Ian synchronized his mind with his clone, despite Morgana’s objections that splitting his attention would hinder training.
• In Germany, Ian confronted Nikolai at an abandoned warehouse and forced him to transfer ten million dollars for the data on a USB drive.
• After Ian left the warehouse, an attacker stabbed him in the heart and revealed that supernatural powers had appeared in the world five years earlier.
• As Ian’s consciousness faded, the Samsara Hall offered him a chance to pursue power, and he accepted in exchange for a chance to continue his ambitions.
• Ian awoke in the Samsara Hall, where Booth told him he was the mission nanny and said he would explain the situation after the others woke up.

Ian began his first Samsara Hall mission in a weakened body and learned that he and the others had to escape Raccoon City before its destruction. He proposed hacking Umbrella Corporation to obtain another helicopter, while Booth prepared the group to join Alice's team.

• Ian examined his mission watch, found that his connection to Morgana had been terminated, and reviewed the objectives in Resident Evil.
• Booth explained Samsara Hall's missions and rewards, then warned that failure meant being erased by the Main God.
• Dr. Frey, Nate, William, and Ian armed themselves after learning that Zombies filled Raccoon City.
• Booth said the group should join Alice's team, explaining that the route offered a way to face the Tyrant guarding the only helicopter.
• Ian offered to hack Umbrella Corporation and arrange another helicopter, and Dr. Frey recognized him as a once-renowned scientific genius.

Booth led Ian, Nate, Dr. Frey, and William into their mission in Raccoon City, planning to reach Raccoon City University for access to Umbrella’s vulnerable servers. After their protection ended, the team encountered Zombies, and Nate was surrounded before Ian and the others came to his aid.

• Booth rejected Nate’s rooftop shortcut and chose the regular route to Raccoon City University, then hurriedly taught Dr. Frey and William to use firearms.

• Booth spotted ten nearby Zombies and ordered the team to use swords, then led them out of the protected room.
• Nate killed two Zombies but was surrounded by five more after losing focus, and Ian and the others rushed to support him.

Ian and the team fought their way toward the university, where Lickers ambushed their vehicle and left several team members wounded. Ian escaped the wreck with Dr. Frey, but Nate and William had been infected, and Booth prepared to deal with them.

• Ian killed two Zombies and rescued Nate while Dr. Frey fought the last one, then Booth ordered Ian and Nate to handle three more approaching Zombies.

• Ian used Morgana and a forged email to infiltrate Umbrella Corporation’s headquarters network and obtain high-level security clearance.
• Ian ordered Umbrella’s private security force to evacuate the team by helicopter, which was due to arrive in twenty-five minutes.

Ian completed his mission and used his knowledge of the T-virus to pressure Umbrella Corporation into considering a cure for Raccoon City. He left the team behind and made a deal with the company’s executives, offering them a chance to save the city in exchange for data that could advance their experiments.

• Booth advised Nate and Dr. Frey on choosing power systems, explaining that the mission’s 300 points could buy a Human Limit Pill and that Saiyan bloodlines cost far more.

• After arriving at a hotel, Ian declined immediate return and hacked Umbrella Corporation’s systems to demand a video conference with its executives.
• Ian warned the executives that destroying Raccoon City would not stop the T-virus from spreading and sent Dr. Isaacs his analysis of the virus’s evolution.
• Ian presented a cure that could restore more than eighty percent of infected people and proposed distributing it across the city as an aerosol.
• When the executives raised the costs and public relations risks, Ian argued that saving 1.7 million people would provide data to reproduce Alice’s enhanced abilities.

• Ian discovered that Reincarnator factions opposed governments creating super soldiers, while a group of assassins targeted Reincarnator patriots and had hired a Tier 3 shadow assassin to kill him.
• Ian decided to conceal his ambitions while planning to uncover the Purple-robed Daoist's identity, but he found no lead on his own assassin before his next mission arrived.

Ian and his newly assembled team received a mission to retrieve a toxin, destroy an alien ship, and confront the White Spikes in The Tomorrow War+ world. After the team split over how to approach the mission, Ian contacted Dr. Alstein to arrange access to the future war.

• Ian and the others inspected their mission details and learned about the White Spikes, the mission objectives, and their assigned identities.
• Ian proposed revealing their abilities to the government, and the team split, with Jack and Kang En joining him while Gwen and Wolf chose to follow the protagonist.
• Ian rejected Wolf's magical non-aggression contract, and Gwen's spider-sense warned her when she considered attacking him.
• After the protection period ended, Morgana located Ian in a Bronx apartment and connected him to Dr. Alstein.
• Ian told Dr. Alstein that his research had succeeded and that he wanted to test his invention in the future war, so Alstein arranged for someone to contact him.

Ian joined the future recruitment effort with his team, but insisted on studying the arm ring required for time travel before wearing it. After demonstrating his strength with three Doom Bots, he gained permission to access the arm ring’s information.

Ian improved the Space-Time Jump Chain’s teleportation program and led his squad into the future to escort scientists developing a toxin against the White Spikes. After the squad fought off an attack, Ian considered testing the monsters for possible genetic modification.

• Ian gave the base a teleportation program that reduced the risk of recruits arriving far above their destination, and Lieutenant Colonel Hart agreed to test it on his squad.
• An hour and a half later, Ian, Jack, and Kang En arrived on a beach; Ian connected a miniature satellite to his armor and Morgana.
• Romeo Command assigned Ian’s squad to escort scientists for seven days and sent them to meet a convoy bound for a laboratory in Miami.

• Jack paid Ian 500 points for the Doom Bot’s help, and the team reunited with Muri at Deep-Sea Drilling Platform 9.

Ian helped Commander Muri’s team complete a toxin against the White Spikes, then used his armor to create an airborne virus and proposed plans to repopulate the future. After the mission succeeded, White Spike extermination and recruitment from the past proceeded smoothly, while Ian gained mission points and began upgrading his armor with the Space-Time Jump Chain.

• Ian warned Commander Muri that the female White Spike’s scent could draw males to the base, and the team contained her with his armor’s force field.
• While working with the scientists, Ian studied the Space-Time Jump Chain blueprints and designed Doom Armor 2.0 using the technology’s potential for teleportation.
• After Muri handed Ian the completed toxin, Ian created an airborne virus designed to kill every White Spike within a week and proposed recruiting people from the past and establishing a cloning project.
• Kang En and Jack took the toxin to the past, while Ian sent his Doom Bots; the team destroyed the nest, Gwen killed the first female queen, and the robots recovered the spaceship.
• Ian received mission rewards totaling 3,300 points and reached 14,078 points as White Spike extermination continued and people from the past—including skilled professionals—signed up to immigrate to the future.

Ian tested Doom Armor 2.0, developed his powers, and created Silver Doom 3.0 while investigating Samsara Hall’s soul mark. After helping rebuild Earth-2051 into a spacefaring society, he completed the mission and returned to Samsara Hall.

After investigating Samsara Hall’s surveillance network and delaying his revenge against the assassin on Mars, Ian accepted a solo lieutenant promotion mission. He arrived in Elden Ring+, where the extreme-nightmare mission’s Perfect Mission demanded that he restore the chaotic Lands Between to absolute order.

• Morgana identified Samsara Hall’s Causality Network and located its strongest surveillance around the capital and Reinspection Province, but could not find its core without Ian’s armor reaching Tier 6.
